Workaround: GLES Kodi + v4l2-drmprime FFmpeg for mainline-Amlogic HW decode
On a mainline-Amlogic Armbian box (S905X, meson-vdec, Ubuntu 22.04) the GL-only kodi-bin is one of two blockers for V4L2 hardware decode. Rebuilding kodi-bin with -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles (one-line change to debian/rules) plus FFmpeg with LibreELEC's v4l2-drmprime patch moves H.264 from ~137% CPU (software) to ~6% (V4L2 hardware). Reproducible Dockerfiles + writeup + prebuilt arm64 .debs: https://github.com/dogukangecko/kodi-hwdec-amlogic-armbian Would be great to see GLES as the arm64 default, as Debian already did (Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/1056563). ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1056563 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1056563 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1978085 Title: kodi arm64 need gles as APP_RENDER_SYSTEM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kodi/+bug/1978085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
